The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.
Understanding the UN Development Agenda:-
At the beginning of the new millennium, in 2000, world leaders gathered at the UN to shape a broad vision to fight poverty in its many dimension
That the vision was translated into 8 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
The MDG framework has guided development work across the world for the past 15 years
Significant achievements have been made,
but many people are being left behind:
•
Gender
inequality persists
•
Big
gaps exist between:
•
The
poorest and richest households
•
Rural
and urban areas
•
Climate
change and environmental degradation undermine any progress achieved; poor
people suffer the most
•
Conflict
remains the biggest threat to human development
•
Millions
of people still live in poverty and hunger, without access to basic services
Nevertheless,
•
The
successes of the MDG agenda prove that global action can work
•
It
is argues that global action is the only path to ensure that the new
development agenda leaves no-one behind
•
The world has the opportunity to build on the successes and to embrace new
ambitions for the future we want
•
The
new agenda should be “truly universal and transformative”
•
As
the human race, we seek a sustainable future
